Top RailsWest Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Omaha East/Council Bluffs

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The handicap room was ok. The bed was a little high for a chair, we needed to use our stool. The shower is walk in but the door and bathroom are not wheel chair friendly for this. The shower head was very tall and your in a chair it’s not to convenient. The room its self was clean and roomy. The hotel also was clean and easy to get around to the casino, if that’s where you were headed. There isn’t continental breakfast which was a bummer. But all in all the rest of the area was good."

"The area the hotel was in was a little "eh", but the hotel itself was nice. I appreciated the fitness center, which was clean and had a nice elliptical machine. The staff was nice...I very much appreciated the kindness of the woman working the breakfast area! Oh, and I'm always grateful when staff is kind enough to put me by an exit, which makes things easier with my dog."
